Hi guys, been a couple of months with my F. I am looking to get new wheels early next year after the cold passes here in IN.

I am looking at wheels that are
Front: 19x8.5 + 30
Rear: 19x9.5 + 35

Currently I am on stock suspension with Swift springs, looking to get the Greddy x KW Coilovers kit here in a couple of months. Will I need to do any fender mods for front or rear? as @Jwconeil stated, IN is a pretty bad place to have your fenders rolled for a DD. So I am looking to avoid that, the most I would be willing to do is shave tabs a bit.

(and yes I did read through the forum, took me quite some time.)

Depends on the tire size. Fronts will be fine but the rear will rub if you go low and do wider than a 275.

Appreciate the info! I will be sure to keep that in mind and update the thread when I get the wheels.

@BirgeyT1 What settings do you have your coilovers set to? Been curious to know what others are riding on.

Full stiff all the way around just because I am fairly low. Still rides great though!

That's where I am leaning also. I am just two or three clicks shy from full stiff, and since I installed my trunk liners again I haven't taken the time to continue to fine tune the rear. I made some extenders on the lathe out of a titanium rod I found laying around. So I guess I should stop being lazy and drill a center hole to install the allen stock I bought and poke a hole through the covers.

Yeah, that's the design that I like the best. They're offered in a "deep concave" on sizes 9.5" and wider.

I just left the liners out until I got it how I wanted. Which I found out real quick was full stiff lol.

I may be biased, but one of the best designed wheels for our cars!

looks very good, and very difficult to keep clean.

Agreed (but I'm biased in the same way you are ).
Are you running the Firehawk Indy 500s?

Ceramic coat your wheels. I would have thought my wheels were gonna be a massive PIA, coated them the day they arrived and brake dust pretty much hoses off long as you got high pressure.

thNks for the tip. My car gets ppf and ceramic at the beginning of next season. Thankfully the Volks will be easy to clean regardless.
